For years, Govinda has been claiming that he was offered James Cameron's Avatar. Earlier this year in March, he again reiterated that he was offered Rs 18 crore by Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron to act in the 2009 sci-fi blockbuster Avatar. Speaking on a podcast with actor Mukesh Khanna, Govinda even went on to claim that it was he who suggested the title Avatar to Cameron. Now, producer Pahlaj Nihalani, who introduced Govinda in the 1986 film Ilzaam, has reacted to the claim.
